Hilda Hilst Quotes

With My Dog-eyes I Stop Before The Sea. Tremulous And Sick. Bent, Thin, I Smell Fish In The Driftwood. Fishbone. Tail. I Gaze At The Sea But Don't Know Its Name. I Remain Standing There, Askance, And What I Feel Is Also Nameless. I Feel My Dog Body. I Don't Know The World, Nor The Sea In Front Of Me. I Lie Down Because My Dog Body Orders It. There's A Bark In My Throat, A Gentle Howl. I Try To Expel It But Man-dog I Know That I'm Dying And I Will Never Be Heard. Now I'm A Spirit. I'm Free And Fly Over My Miserable Being, My Abandonment, The Nothing That Contains Me And That Made Me On Earth. I Am Rising, Wet Like Fog.
